€Jjc aSranti 30rmp of tfje Republic 

Being represented at the Celebration and as there will be men in 
that line who fought in the wilderness with Grant, who rode 
through the valley with Sheridan, who saw their leaders fall in 
death at Gettysburg, who ran the Batteries with Faragut and 
Porter, who marched through Georgia with Sherman, or who stormed 
Fort Fisher with Terry, a brief record of each Regiment is herewith 
given : 




THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD REGIMENTS 

Rallied at the first call of President Lincoln for troops, and reached 
Virginia in lime to take part in the first battle of Bull Run, retiring 
from that disastrous field in good order. 

THE FOURTH REGIMENT 
Was recruited as an infantry regiment and served as such until Janu- 
ary, 1862, wdien by special orders from the War Department it was 
changed into heavy artillery, to consist of twelve companies of 150 
men each, under command of Col. Robert O. Tyler. The regiment 
served with distinction through all the battles of the Peninsula, and at 
Fredricksburg, Fort Fisher, Petersburg and Richmond. 
FIFTH REGIMENT. 
The Fifth Regiment was organized in June, 1861, with Col. Orris 
S. Ferry as its first commander, followed by Col. Geo. D. Chapman in 
March, 1862, Col. Ferry being promoted to a brigade. This regiment 
saw much severe lighting: it wentinto the battle of Cedar Mountain, 
Va. with eight companies, and had every oue of its officers except 
three, killed or wounded. It was here that the adjutant of the regiment, 
Major Edward F. Blake of New Haven was killed. The Fifth was also 
engaged at Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and at Receca and Atlanta, 
Georgia. 



SIXTH REGIMENT. 

The Sixth Regiment, C. V. was recruited at New Haven in August, 
1861, under the auspices of Col. John L. Chatfleld of Waterbury. It 
left the State in September of that year, and was at once assigned to 
the Department of the South. At the engagements of James' and 
Morris' Island, S. C. it lost heavily, and at the second assault of Fort 
Wagner, Col. Chatfleld while bravely leading his men to the charge 
was mortally wounded. 

SEVENTH REGIMENT. 

The seventh regiment to be sent out by Connecticut was composed 
largely ofthose who had served in the three months" regiments. Alfred 
H. Terry of New Haven (now Major General in U. S. Army) was its 
first colonel, and Joseph R. Hawley of Hartford (now United States 
Senator) the second in command. 

This regiment was assigned to duties in the Department of the 
South, anil was the first to plant its colors on the soil of South Carolina. 
It suffered severely both in officers and men at the battles of Pocotatico, 
Morris' Island, Fort Wagner and Fort Fisher, and in all was in over 
twenty engagements. 

EIGHTH REGIMENT. 

This regiment commanded by General Edward Harland of Nor- 
wich, was in the Burnside expedition that captured Newbern, N. C, 
and in various other battles in that state, and in the Army of the 
Potomac. It lost in all 72 officers and men killed in battle. 
NINTH REGIMENT. 

The Ninth Regiment, C. V. was recruited at Camp English, New 
Haven, and was commanded by Col. Thomas W. Cahill- It was sent to 
the Department of the Gulf, and took an active part in the battle of 
Baton Rouge, La. It was afterward ti'ansferred to the Shenandoah 
Valley where it did efficient work. 

TENTH REGIMENT. 

This regiment was attached to Burnside's division, its first engage- 
ment being at Roanoke Island, where its heroic commander, Colonel 
Charles L. Russell was killed at the head of his men. The regiment 
also participated in the battles of Newbern and Kingston, N. C, and in 
all was in twenty. four engagements, losing 116 officers and men killed 
or dying from wounds received in battle. 

It was in this regiment that Gen. E. S. Greeley of New Haven saw 
his first service as Lieutenant of Co. C— being promoted for meritorious 
service step by step to General of Brigade. 

ELEVENTH REGIMENT. 

The Eleventh Regiment was also assigned to Burnside's division at 
first, but in July, 1862 it was attached to the Army of the Potomac and 
participated in the battles of South Mountain, Antietam, Fredricksburg, 
Cold Harbor and Petersburg. 



TWELFTH REGIMENT. 

This fine regiment was organized early in 1862 with Col. Henry C. , 
Deming of Hartford in command. It was assigned to Gen. Butler's ' 
Division, and was one of the first regiments of Yankees to march 
through the streets of New Orleans after its capture by Admiral Farra- 
gut. The Twelfth bore a conspicuous part in the siege of Port Hudson, 
where it sustained a loss of L08 officers and men. [n August, 1864 it 
was transferred to the Department of the Shedandoah under Gen. 
Sheridan, and engaged in all the fierce encounters of the Valley that 
followed. At the battle of Winchester. Sept. 19, 1864, Lieut. Col. 
Frank H. Peck of New Haven, then in command of the regiment, was 
mortally wounded while gallantly leading his men into action. The 
total loss this regiment sustained in the several battles in which it 
fought was 417 officers and men. Among the men now prominent in 
New Haven who were officers in lliis regiment are Chief Engineer A. C. 
Hendrick and Capt. John W. DeForrest the novelist. 
THIRTEENTH REGIMENT. 

The Thirteenth Regiment, under Col. Henry W, Birge, was sent 
with the twelfth to the Department of the Gulf, and did good service at 
both assaults of Port Hudson. It was also engaged in the unfortunate 
Red River expedition under Gen. Banks and lost quite heavily. The 
regiment was in that part of the Nineteeeth Corps that fought so 
bravely in the Shenandoah Valley. 

FOURTEENTH REGIMENT. 

This gallant regiment saw hard lighting from the commencement to 
the end of term of service. It left the state for Washington, August 
25, 1862, under Col. Dwight Morris of Bridgeport, and before it had 
been two weeks in its camp of instruction it was hurried into the 
battle of Antietam, where it suffered a total loss of 137 officers and 
men. The regiment was also at Fredrick s burg, Chancellorsville, 
Gettysburg and Cold Harbor, and in all was in 24 severe actions, losing 
in killed, wounded and missing a total of 836 men, a record which is 
far above the average, even of lighting regiments. 
FIFTEENTH REGIMENT. 

The Fifteenth Regiment was recruited in New Haven during the 
month of August, 1862, and was largely composed of New Haven men. 
Some of Its principal officers were the late Col. Dexter R. Wright, 
Lieut. Col. Samuel Tolles. Major E. W. Osborn, (killed at King-Ion. 
N. C.) and Captains George M. White and F. M. Lovejoy. This regi- 
ment participated is many actions in North Carolina, and had half of 
of its effective force captured by the enemy at Kingston, March 8, 1865. 
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT. 

The Sixteenth Regiment, C. Y. was recruited during the summer of 
1862, and left for the seat of war in time to take part in the battle of 
Antietam, where it stood as firmly as veterans, and suffered severe 



losses. The regiment was afterwards sent to Plymouth, N. C. On 
April 17, 1864 that place was attacked by a superior force of Confed- 
erates, and on the twentieth the General in command of the Union force 
capitulated. Nearly the whole of the Sixteenth were included in the 
surrender, and many of these brave men perished in the rebel prisons 
of Andersonville and Florence. 

SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT. 

Col. William A. Noble of Bridgeport was the commander of the 
Seventeenth, and its first engagement with the enemy was at Chaneel- 
lorsville, where it lost 120 men. At Gettysburg also it suffered a 
heavy loss. Afterwards the regiment was sent to South Carolina and 
Florida, where it saw hard service. 

EIGHTEENTH REGIMENT. 

The Eighteenth Regiment was organized in 1862 and ordered to 
the Department of West Virginia, where it performed efficient service 
during the entire period of enlistment. On the 14th and 15th of June, 
1863 it took an active part in the battle of Winchester, and a large 
proportion of its officers and men were taken prisoners. 

NINETEENTH REGIMENT. 

This regiment was organized as an infantry regiment, but was 
changed by an order of the War Department into the 2d Connecticut 
heavy artillery; it served wholly in the Army of the Potomac, and 
suffered at the battle of Cold Harbor, June 1, 1864 the loss of 285 
officers and men, among whom was the colonel of the regiment, Elisha 
S. Kellogg of Derby. After Cold Harbor the regiment served in the 
Sixth Corps until the close of the war. 

TWENTIETH REGIMENT. 

The Twentieth Regiment rendezvoused at New Haven in the fall of 
1862, its officers being Samuel Ross of Hartford, Colonel; William B. 
Wooster of Derby, Lieutenant Colonel, and Philo P. Buckingham of 
New Haven, Major. 

This regiment had the honour of being the only Connecticut regi- 
ment that marched with Sherman from " Atlanta to the Sea." It was 
assigned first, however, to the Army of the Potomac, and was at 
Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, losing nearly 300 men in these two 
great battles. In September, 1863 the regiment was transferred to the 
" Army of the Cumberland." In the campaign from Chattanooga, and 
in all 'the tierce struggles around Atlanta' it did heroic service. It 
followed Sherman to Savannah, ami from Savannah through the (aro- 
linas, its last battle being that of Bentonville, N. C, where it lost 36 
men. Capt. S. E. (bailee of Derby and Judge J. P. Studley of Court of 
Common Pleas, New Haven served in this regiment. 



TWENTY-FIRST REGIMENT. 

The Twenty-First was organized in August, 1862, and Col. Arthur 
H. Dutton was' appointed from the regular army to its command. This 
regiment did gallant service in the Army of the Potomac, losing at the 
battle of Drury's Bluff, \'a. in May, 1864, a total of 107 officers and 
men. In an engagement near Cold Harbor on June 5th Col. Dutton 
received wounds from which he died three days later. The Grand 
Army Post at Wallingford is named in honor of this gallant officer. 
TWENTY-SECOND REGIMENT. 

The Twenty-Second Regiment, Col. George S. Burnham command- 
ing, was the first to organize in the State under the call for nine 
months' volunteers, The regiment was assigned to the Army of the 
Potomac and did efficient service. 
TWENTY-THIRD, TWENTY-FOURTH, TWENTY-FIFTH AND 
TWENTY-SIXTH REGIMENTS. 

The Twenty-Third Regiment, Col. C. E. L. Holmes, the Twenty- 
Fourth, Col. Samuel M. Mansfield, the Twenty-Fifth, Col. George P. 
Bissell and the Twenty-Sixth, Col. Samuel G. Kingsley were also 
recruited for nine months' service, and were assigned to Gen. Banks' 
division, Department of the Gulf, all doing faithful and efficient work 
in that department. 

TWENTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT. 

This fine regiment was recruited wholly from New Haven County, 
ami was composed of some of the bravest and best educated young 
men resident in New Haven and vicinity. It was assigned to the Army 
of the Potomac, and had its first baptism of fire at Fredricksburg, Dec. 
13, 1862, where it lost 105 officers and men in killed and wounded. 
At Chancellorsville in May, 1863 it fought with great gallantry, when 
in addition to a large number killed and wounded, more than half of 
the regiment were captured and taken to Li bby prison. That part of 
the regiment that escaped capture was in the forefront of the second 
days' great struggle at Gettysburg, suffering a loss of nearly half of all 
who were in action. It was here that the heroic Lieut. Col. Henry C. 
Merwin gave his young life to his country, falling at the head of his 
men in the deadly " wheat field." Capt. Jedediah Chapman was also 
killed at this time. Among those now prominent in New Haven who 
served in the Twenty-Seventh are Gen. F. D. Sloat, Maj. R P. Cowles, 
Hon. Henry F. Peck, Col. S. J. Fox, David S. Thomas, Councilman 
S. S. Thompson and many others. 

TVYENTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT. 

The Twenty-Eighth went into camp at New Haven, where it re- 
mained until ordered to join Gen. Banks' Division, making the fifth 
regiment furnished by Connecticut for the Banks' expedition. This 
regiment was actively engaged at Port Hudson, where it lost 59 killed, 
wounded and missing. 



TWENTY-NINTH AND THIRTIETH REGIMENTS. 

These two regiments were the only colored troops organized in 
Connectieul during the war. Both of them did faithful service in the 
armies operating in Virginia, losing many men. Col. Torrance (now 
Judge of Superior Court) reported that two companies of the Twenty- 
Ninth were the first infantry companies to enter Richmond after the 
abandonment of that place by Lee's army.

FIRST CONNECTICUT CAVALRY. 

The first regiment Connecticut Cavalry was originally a battalion of 
four companies, but early in 1863 it was changed to a full regimenlof 
twelve companies. The reputation which this regiment maintained for 
fidelity and bravery in the armies of the Potomac and Shenandoah was 
second to no other cavalry regiment in the service. It participated in 
no less than twenty-seven battles, and took part in many of the great 
raids which Sheridan so successfully planned and accomplished. Rev. 
Erastus Blakeslee was colonel of this regiment for quite a period, and 
New Haven's present Chief of Police, C. F. Bollman served in its ranks.

Conception anti ^Description* 



~~7 he Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument which the town of New Haven 
/ has erected to commemorate the faithful services of her sons 

[ C\ in four wars, will be dedicated at East Rock Park on Friday, 
Vly June 17, 1887. 

The men of this Commonwealth have always been noted for their 
courage and patriotism. In the War of the Revolution the state fur- 
nished more men than any other excepting Massachusetts. In the War 
of 1812, and the Mexican War, many of her sons fought gallanty, both 
on land and sea. And in the great struggle against secession and 
rebellion from 1861 to 1865, Connecticut sent 54,468 men into the 
armies of the Union, many of whom were killed on the battle field or 
died in the hospital or the prison, that the nation might live. Of these 
thousands New Haven furnished her full quota, and in reply to the 
assertion that she has been slow in thus honoring the heroic deeds of 
her sons, it should be said that for many years the subject of building a 
Soldiers' Monument had been agitated, the difficulty having been in 
deciding upon a suitable location. In 1881, however, by an act of the 
Legislature, the city of New Haven was granted the authority to take 
the land on East Rock and maintain the same as a public park, and it 
was at once seen that this would lie an admirable site for a monument. 
A petition to the Board of Selectmen, started by Admiral Foote Post, 
G. A. K., was numerously signed by members of the Grand Army ami 
by citizens, and on December 8, 1 .S.s-J at a public town-meeting, the 
sum of fity thousand dollars was appropriated to erect on East Rock 
Park a Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, and the following committees 
were appointed. 

Committee <>x Design. 

Gen. S. E. Merwin. Ch. Col. S. J. Fox, Sec 

Gov. H. B. Harrison, Hon. H. B. Bigelow, John McCarthy, 
Col. John G. Healey, Gen. Frank D. Sloat, Hon. James E*. English, 
James Revnolds, * Col. J. D. Plunkett, Col. Samuel Tolies, 

Theo. A. Tuttle, Conrad Hofacker. 

Building Committee. 
Gen. S. E. Merwin, Hon. James E. English, Philo Chatfleld. 

The plan for the Monument, designed by Moffat & Doyle of New 
York were selected, and the contract to build the structure was 
awarded to Smith & Sperry of New Haven on May 19, 1885. The 
corner-stone was laid on June 17, 1886 with impressive ceremonies. 
Governor Henry B. Harrison giving utterance to the following eloquent 
words :

" They died for their country. Whatsoever faults or wickedness 
they may have had,— whatsoever stains of sin may have been upon 
them,— whatsoever acts of wrong they may have committed on their 
passage through this mortal life— nevertheless to them at last was 
given the grace, the power and the will to lay down their lives deliber- 
ately in obedience to duty and for the sake of the republic. * * * * 
And now upon this high and eternal rock in memory of their great 
sacrifice, and their victory over death, we build the monument which 
will stand here, we hope, as long as any work of human hands can 
endure. Generation after generation will come and gaze upon it anil 
pass away, to be followed by other successive generations! but the tall 
shaft of stone will here remain, looking up at the sun and the clouds 
and the stars by day and by night, looking down upon the fair city 
below, and out upon the blue sea in the far distance, and silently 
signifying from age to age its perpetual story to human minds and 
human hearts." 

Through the munificence of two of New Haven's public spirited 
citizens, the late Henry Far nam, Esq., and Ex. Gov. James E. English, 
magnificent drives have been laid out and completed on either side of 
the rock, winding in graceful curves around the cliff to its very summit, 
making the Park easy of access to all. From many points of these 
drives charming and picturesque views are obtained, in which city and 
country, forest and river, and the blue waters of the sound dotted' with 
the white sails of commerce are beautifully mingled. 

DESCRIPTION OF MONUMENT. 

The height from the base to the apex of the statue of the Angel of 
Peace, which surmounts it, is 110 feet; the height of the Angel of Peace 
is 11 feet. The pedestal of the Monument is a series of five steps of 
granite, the lowest course of which is 40 feet square. These steps, 
with the exception of the top one, are 14 inches wide; the top step is 4 
feet wide, forming' a promenade around the Monument. The base is 17 
feet in height, and constructed of uniform blocks of split or rough-faced 
granite. In each side of this masonry casements are built, but the only 
entrance is through the front one, which is supplied with heavy folding 
doors, and approached by three granite steps. The other casements 
are imitation entrances, but are also approached by steps. 

Between the base and the foot of the shaft there are 8 feet of 
ornamental masonry, on the four corners of which statues of Prosperity, 
History, Victory, and Patriotism are placed in a sitting position. They 
arc '.i feet in height, and made of bronze. The Genius of History is 
seated in a graceful attitude, perusing a book, which she holds in her 
lap; Victory holds the usual laurel wreath ami trumpet in her hands; 
Prosperity has the familiar horn of plenty on her shoulder, and Patriot- 
ism is a bare-armed and bare-necked warrior in the attitude of drawing 
a sword. Between the statues, and on each lace of the masonry, are 
four historical bas-reliefs, commemorating the four great wars in which 
this country has been engaged since the first blow for liberty was strucfc 



at Lexington. Over the entrance, the scene depicted in this way is the 
surrender of General Lee to General Grant, at Appomattox. Figures 
of Grant and Lee occupy the foreground, and between them stands a 
little table on which the terms of unconditional surrender were made. 
On the topmost portion ot the base and under the bas-relief are the 
words, in raised letters of granite : " Gettysbubg, Port Hudson and 
Fort Fisher," and below these words and over the top of the case- 
ment, '.' 18(51— 18(55." 

A bas-relief of General Scott entering the conquered city of Mexico 
occupies one of the other faces. " Palo Alto, Molino Del Key and 
Chapul'iepec," and the dates 184(5— 1S48 are on the stone below. 

On the back of the Monument, the scene depicted is that ot Commo- 
dore Perry on Lake Erie. The great commander is in the act of writing 
his famous despatch: "We have met the enemy and they are ours." 
This picture also represents the dismantled British fleet. On the base, 
under this picture, fire inscribed the words: "Lake Erie, Lake 
Champlajn and New Orleans." The dates over the casement are 
1812—1815. 

The fourth bas-relief is a picture of the surrender of General Corn- 
wallis, at Yorktown. The figure of Washington slands in the fore- 
ground, receiving the British generals' swords. Bunker Hill, Ben- 
nington and Saratoga," and the dates 1775—17 8.'} are below it. 

The shaft proper of the Monument is 75 feet high, circular, and 
slightly tapering, and 10 feet in diameter at the base, which rests on a 
sculptured wreath. Above this wreath appears a few feet of ornamen- 
tal masonry, and then a band of thirteen chiseled Stars, representing 
the thirteen original States. Above this are uniform unornamented 
blocks of granite until the look-out windows are reached. The case- 
ments of these windows stand out prominently, and the ornamentations 
below them are very beautiful in design. The windows are about five 
feet hiuh by two feet wide, and are at the termination of a spiral stair- 
case, which winds its way up through the column from the base. The 
apex of the Monument* is very nearly cone-shaped, and is sur- 
mounted by the pedestal on whidh the Angel of Peace stands.
